CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Now, we have purchased and we have stockpiled 29 million pills of the hydroxychloroquine — 29 million… Also, we’re sending them to various labs, our military. We’re sending them to the hospitals. We’re sending them all over.
I just think it’s something — you know the expression, I’ve used it for certain reasons: ‘What do you have to lose?’ What do you have to lose? And a lot of people are saying that when — and are taking it — if you’re a doctor, a nurse, a first responder, a medical person going into hospitals, they say taking it before the fact is good. But what do you have to lose? They say, ‘Take it.’…
And, again, you have to go through your medical people, get the approval. But I’ve seen things that I sort of like. So what do I know? I’m not a doctor.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump, Vice President Pence, and Members of the Coronavirus Task Force in Press Briefing,” whitehouse.gov, Apr. 5, 2020
